IN TWENTY-ONE; states of the
Union distress such as our coun
try has not experienced since the
earliest pioneer days has visited lit
erally millions of American citizens
and their families. All of the indus
trial unemployment, of which so
much has been said and written, is
trifling in its consequences of hu
man misery, compared with the suf
ferings of these country people in
the regions where the drought of
1930 laid its withering hand.
The men and women who are ad
ministering the Red Cross relief in
the stricken districts report that
even the distress caused by the Mis
sissippi flood of 1928 was less ser
ious, not only because there are now
many more people affected, but be
cause of the feeling of hopelessness
among the drought sufferers. Those
who were driven from their homes
by the flood, even though their
homes and all they had were wash
ed away, knew that Old Man River
would subside in time and leave
their land richer than before. There
was always the land and next year's
crops to look forward to.
The people in the drought country
have seen their land fail them. That
Is the real tragedy of the present
situation. Their crops failed, their
livestock died of thirst, they could
not accumulate enough to carry
themselves and their families over
the winter, and they look forward
despondently toward another poor
crop year, for it takes more than
one season to bring the dried-out
soil back to fertility.
Unlike a large part of those seek
ing employment relief in the cities
these people have never before
sought or accepted charity. It has
been stated that fully half of those
living on public bounty in the cities
have never worked regularly and
refuse to work when employment is
offered them. These drought suf
ferers have always worked, and
worked hard. They are of the stock
and character that makes up the
backbone of our Nation. And they
exhausted their own resources
down to the last morsel of food,
most of them, before they would ac
cept the bounty of the Red Cross,
administered in each locality by the
devoted men and women of the com
munity, serving without pay, ne
glecting their own business and af
fairs to minister to these their dis
tressed neighbors.
"There is not a rabbit nor a squir
rel left in the whole district," one
Red Cross worker reports from
Kentucky. "All of the wild game
that survived the drought has long
since been shot or trapped to feed
these starving people."

JESUS BEABS GOOD TIDINGS.
Luke 8:1-15.
REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D.
Once more read the entire chapter
to observe the context and get the
related teachings. Now is the time
when Jesus is in popular favor and
crowds throng about Him as he
comes into any community. At that
time it is said there were over 200
cities and villages in Galilee and
the population numbered two or
three millions. The condition is de
cidedly different today, though the
number will be largely increased
soon if the Hebrews continue to re
turn and reestablish themselves in
their Promised Land.
At times the Twelve went with
Jesus and on other occasions, they.
and even the Seventy, were sent
forth in independent itineraries,
The plan from the coming of Jesus
has been to send out individuals as
personal messengers of the Gospel.
Note that certain women are nam
ed. A group of women is mentioned
which seems to have been a Com
mittee on Ways and Means as they
helped provide the cost involved as
Jesus and His workers went about.
Even the simplest ways of living
costs sometimes daily and these wo
men made it possible for the men to
render their extsnsive services.
Many parables are given at this
time which tell about the Kingdom
of Heaven that Jesus came to es
tablish. A definition that Is still
good calls a parable a heavenly
story with an earthly meaning. The
Master Teacher took many of His
Illustrations from things in every
day life. This time He calls atten
tion to the seed that is scattered by
Uie farmer. It Is the same kind of
seed that falls on the four kinds of
oil. The application indicates our
reception of that always good seea
which is the Word of God.
good American families must be
kept alive and in health by the help
of the rest of us. The Red Cross
had five million dollars to start wfth
and is asking the American people
for ten million more. That is little
enough, even though every cent of it
goes lor actual provisions and cloth
ing, as it does.
Are we going to let these people
starve? Or will we who have been
more fortunate than they come to
their rescue?
THREE KINDS OF FARMERS
Autocaster Service
0
NE of the drawbacks to any dis
cussion of the farmer and his
problems is the uncertainty as to
what sort of farming is under dis
cussion. There are three different
types of farmer, and in almost ev
ery part of the United States all
three are to be found side by side.
The most widely-distributed type
is what may be called the "non
commercial" farmer, the great
group with whom farming is not so
much a business as a mode of liv
ing. This type raises no consider
able amount of any one "money
crop," but grows on his own land
the means of subsistence for his
family and, counting out the eggs,
butter and other marketable pro
duce traded in town for store goods,
handles very little cash in the
course of a year.
The group of farmers who are
specialists, "one-crop" farmers, is
probably the largest numerically
and in acreage under fence. They
are business men, in the broad
sense, producing nothing but a sin
gle commodity which they sell or
hope to sell, for money, and growing
nothing, or almost nothing, which
they themselves consume. The sin
gle crop may be cotton, tobacco,
wheat, corn, oranges, apples, celery
or potatoes, depending upon loca
tion. Dependent upon their money
returns from the single cash crop
for everything which they eat and
wear, these are the first to feel the
effects of a general business de
pression and are constantly at the
mercy of competition and over-pro
duction in their staple crops. This
is the type of farmer at whose re-
leif most of the political remedies
for agricultural ills are aimed.
The happiest farmers are the
third class, those whose farming
operations combine those of the oth
er two. They live off the soil and
can continue to live independently
and comfortably year in and year
out, except for natural catastro
phies such as floods or drought
They grow enough of one or more
cash crops to figure as important
factors in the produce markets, but
failure in any one year to cash in on
such crops or livestock does not re
duce them to penury or plunge them
into debt

The Skin Puzzle
An old anecdote has it that a so
ciety lady at her bridge game, ask
ed her partner, who was a young
"skin specialist," why he chose that
branch of the medical profession
for his life work such a perplex
ing sort of diseases, his reply was,
"well those cases never get me out
at night, they never die and, they
never get well."
My outstanding case today was a
very aggravating case of eczema. A
young farmer who came from a
place about fifty miles away. I
treated him for a similar attack,
five years ago, with good success,
hence his return after about one
month of suffering; he was half
mad from the terrible itching. I
assume that this will interest such
of my readers as have had exper
ience with skin afflictions. f
Eczema is the outstanding skin
disease if we are to judge by the
frequency of patients with skin
trouble. If one doesn't know his
diagnosis very well, he will be cor
rect nine times out of ten by call
ing it "a form of eczema."
Of course the thing the patient
partments of Agriculture, as well as
the agricultural colleges have been
preaching the gospel of diversified
farming in the one-crop regions.
Every once in a while some natural
or economic disaster drives the one
crop farmers of a district into di
versification, and the result is al
ways greater prosperity and sta
bility, not only for the farmer but
for all the people of his district or
state.

First and foremost, remove ALL

to stop wearing a fur boa, who had

the trouble.
I have seen oases that had to lie

In production and distribution of
wealth, we have every conceivable

the other. Most governments now
seek the middle course on the the

Describes Use of Red
Squill For Rat Poison
By C. W. SMITH, County At'ent.
Since red squill was first recom
mended as a rat poison by the de
partment of agriculture, large quan
tities of red squill bait have been
used. The .Bureau of Biological
Survey during the years 1928, 1929
and 1930 assisted in more than 150
cooperative county, city and town
campaigns, in which more than 40,
000 pounds of squill bait was used.
A carfeul check of results made In
moat of these campaigns indicated
that a thorough clean-up of rats
was made on at least 75 per cent of
the premises treated. This record
furnishes ample proof of the accep
tability and efficacy of red-squill
powder as a raticide.
In using powdered red squill to
destroy rats the choice of bait is
most Important. The goal is to de
stroy every rat at one application;
otherwise survivors become suspic
ious and are hard to dispose of la
ter. This requires an ample supply
of baits that will appeal strongly to
the appetites of the rats. Unfortun
ately, the tastes of rats, like those
of human beings, vary, so that it is
not possible to appeal to the palate
of every rat with a single food. In
order to obtain the best results sev
eral kinds of bait should be exposed
at the same time, so that every rat
will have a choice of foods. The fol
lowing directions- for preparing
baits are the results of long exper
ience of specialists in rat control;.
a
meat chopper is one of the most at
tractive baits for rats. If fresh fish
is not available, a cheap grade of
canned salmon, canned hiackerel, ;
or sardines in oil may be used. Mix
1 ounce of powdered red squill with
a little water to form a thin paste
free of lumps, add to 1 pound of fish
and mix thoroughly.
MEAT Mix 1 ounce of powdered
red squill with a little water to
form a thin paste free of lumps, and
add to 1 pound of fresh ground meat
and mix thoroughly. Hamburg
steak is most commonly used.
CEREALS Mix together dry . 1
ounce of powdered red squill and 1
pound of cereal meal, such as oat
meal, graham flour, corn meal or
bran. Add 1 pint of sweet milk or
water and stir to a mushy consist
ency. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Using a pepper shaker, dust pow
dered red squill over thin slices of
fresh fruit or vegetables and stir
or shake as the powder is applied
to insure even distribution. A small
muskmelon, for example, should be
cut into about 16 slices and each
slice cut into 3 sections. This will
require 1 ounce of powdered red
squill and will make 48 baits. Three
medium-sized tomatoes or three ba
nanas, each cut into about 16 sec
tions, may be similarly used for
each ounce of squill powder.
So far as possible all sources of
food for rats should be removed be
fore exposing squil baits. Garbage
cans should be covered, food hop
pers emptied, and all accessible
food put into tight containers. The
freshly prepared bait should 'be ex
posed late in the afternoon in order
that it may be reasonably fresh
when the rats commence feeding.
Every part of the premises where
rats are likely to be present should
be thoroughly treated particularly
those places in which rats have been
accustomed to feed. A large num
ber of small baits is more effective
than a few large baits. Put out the
bait in quarter-teaspoon pieces, or
in quantities about the size of the
average marble. Place them con
secutively, first a meat bait, then
a fish bait, then a cereal bait, then
meat, and so on. In poultry pens
it is best to expose the baits in the
feeding troughs while the chickens
are shut up; or the baits may be
exposed behind boxes or boards so
leaned against the wall to form a
runway for rats that the chickens
can not reach them.
Baits should be left out for three
days, after which all those uneaten
should be collected and destroyed.
If any sign of live rats Is noted af
ter one week, wait two additional
weeks and then prebait for several
nights before exposing more red
squill bait. Prebaiting is important
if an unsuccessful effort has pre
viously been made to destroy rats.
This consists of exposing fresh un
treated foods prepared in precisely
the same way as the squill baits ex
cept that the squill is omitted. These
clean baits should be put out at 2
day intervals, and all not consumed
should be destroyed the morning
following their exposure until the
suspicion of the rats has been over
come and they take the baits free
ly. When this occurs, substitute the
squil baits, and a complete clean-up
should result.
